DESCRIPTION
This delightful typical Suffolk period cottage is situated in the centre of the ever popular
village of Middleton and overlooks the Green, enjoying views of the church and only a
short walk to The Bell public house.
The property is believed to date from the late 18th century and has a mix of brick and
flint facades under a pantile roof. The amount of accommodation is pleasantly surprising,
having 4 Reception rooms, 5 Bedrooms, a Bathroom and Shower Room, further
benefiting from double glazing and oil fired central heating throughout. Outside the
cottage has a well laid garden which fronts The Street with parking at the rear for 2 cars
and a good sized garage. To the rear of the cottage is a pretty courtyard which enjoys a
westerly aspect, which in turn leads to a large garden the plot in total extending to a
little over a half acre in size. Offering a rare opportunity to acquire a comfortable
cottage eminently suitable for use as a weekend retreat or fulltime residence. An early
viewing is strongly recommended by the vendor's Sole Agents.
LOCATION
Centring around its small village Green and the Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, the
village of Middleton also has a small primary school, public house and is served by public

historic village of Dunwich to the south of which is the internationally renowned RSPB
Bird Reserve.
A good range of traditional shops will be found in the nearby village of Yoxford which
lies approximately 3 miles to the north west while more comprehensive facilities are
available in Saxmundham about 4.5 miles to the south west and include heatlh centre,
library and railway station. There is a further railway halt at Darsham, approximately 3.5
miles from the property which, like Saxmundham, gives services to Ipswich and London
Liverpool Street.
For those with leisure interests in mind the area abounds with opportunities including
first class golf courses at Halesworth, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh which fronts the North
Sea with its long shingle beach and is home to the internationally renowned annual
Music Festival founded by Sir Benjamin Britten. The ramblers the nearby forest at
Dunwich provides excellent walking routes whilst the Minsmere Bird Reserve is a mecca
for bird watchers. Sailors will delight in the Rivers Alde and Ore to the south of
Aldeburgh which offer some of the prettiest sailing facilities on the east coast.
